Microgrid is not a “mini version of the traditional large grid”
Although microgrid is called “micro”, it is not a simple “mini version of traditional large power grid”. This misunderstanding stems from the understanding of the word “micro”, which is equated with the concept of “small scale”. However, the “micro” referred to in microgrids does not refer to the size, but rather refers to the fact that its operating mode and energy management methods are fundamentally different from those of traditional large power grids.
Next, we will elaborate on the two from the following aspects.
The way to build and run
Traditional large power grids adopt a centralized power generation and transmission model to send power from power plants to users through transmission lines, while microgrids focus more on the production, storage and consumption of local energy. Microgrids achieve local energy self-sufficiency by installing power generation equipment and energy storage equipment locally, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage systems, thereby reducing dependence on traditional power grids and improving the reliability of energy supply. sex and stability.
Energy storage system
In traditional large power grids, it is difficult to store electricity effectively. Once generated, it must be consumed immediately or delivered to users through transmission lines. Microgrids use power storage solutions, such as energy storage cabinets and energy storage batteries, to store power generated in different time periods to cope with imbalances in energy supply and demand, thereby achieving flexible deployment and effective utilization of power.
Energy saving smart management
Microgrid advocates the concept of energy conservation and achieves efficient use of energy through the application of energy-saving products and technologies, such as smart meters and smart home systems. Compared with traditional large power grids, microgrids can more accurately monitor and manage energy use, minimize energy waste, improve energy utilization efficiency, and achieve energy conservation and environmental protection.
Distributed energy management
In addition, microgrids also adopt a distributed energy management model, which is in sharp contrast to the centralized power generation and transmission model of traditional large power grids. Microgrids disperse energy production, storage and consumption in different locations, reducing energy transmission losses, improving the reliability and stability of energy supply, and also reducing the pressure and dependence on traditional power grids.
In short, as an innovative model for future power storage solutions, microgrids not only have technical advantages, but also lead an energy revolution conceptually. Looking to the future, microgrids will provide solid technical support for building a more intelligent, energy-saving and sustainable society!
